Reddoor Bali
Canggu, Bali - Indonesia
Reddoor Bali – One of Canggu’s most prestigious properties – Reddoor Bali is a boutique hotel that is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of mainstream Bali.
Canggu in Bali has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most happening hot-spots on the entire island and Reddoor’s location on the picturesque Pancaran river is the prime spot for tranquil perspectives and lazy tropical vibes. A mix of contemporary and organic styles fill the impressive 2000 square metre space.
Famed fashion designer turned hotelier George Gorrow (Ksubi,The Slow Hotel) is the creative force behind this project and he teamed up with the professionals from Mahallati Interiors to turn his well thought out concepts into timber, brick, stone and mortar.
Through consultation between George and the team the planning and manufacture of the full interior and exterior furniture fit-out was accomplished, including all the loose furniture and the built ins. Both traditional and modern design pieces occupy the expansive layout and the ability of the team to plan and render the complete layout in 3D beforehand
allowed for re-positioning and tweaking before any foundations were laid and before any timber was cut.
This is not a villa -it is a boutique hotel which has 4 master bedrooms spread across 3 buildings plus various outdoor leisure areas. This means that besides being a more sizeable an area to plan, perfect and fit-out, the premises has through traffic of guests from all over the world who need their varying tastes and comfort catered to. In practical terms the furniture and fittings need to stand up to the wear and tear of use by that guest traffic -and to this end commercial grade materials and construction techniques are used throughout.
Teak is the main furniture material and with good reason – it is beautiful, highly water resistant and does not degrade at all over time with a little bit of maintenance. Other sustainable timbers are in the material mix, as well as steel, brass and aluminium – either as a main construction material or as an accent. Commercial grade fabrics in neutral and earthy tones cover the sofa’s, sun lounger’s and cushions.
Natural fibres and wicker are used in accent and furniture pieces in line with the overall colour scheme and feel. Tasteful light fittings, lamps and a multitude of decorations, ornaments and accent pieces complete the tropical hideaway impression of the installation.
When working with someone like George Gorrow, who has a distinct and celebrated sense of taste and style the key is to listen to and facilitate their desires and wishes until the concept is realized in its entirety. Mahallati Interiors has both the ability and experience to do exactly that. Walking into Reddoor Bali for the first time the atmosphere encapsulates the visitor with the aura of equatorial enjoyment. Feelings of leisure, pleasure, refreshment and relief from the strain of 21st century living are the take-aways from a stay at Reddoor Bali.
